Reaction! Social Media Speaks On NBA Jerseys With Ads

Earlier this week, the word came down that the NBA will soon include branding on their on-court jerseys, which is launching in a three-year pilot program. The interesting new concept will come into play in the 2017-2018 season, and will find teams being responsible for selling their own uniform sponsorship. The NBA estimates that the program would result in $100 million USD revenue a year, with teams hoping to make $4-6 million USD per year from brand partnerships.

The news is that sponsor patches will measure out to 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches and be positioned on the upper left chest of the jersey, while Nike will find its logo on the right chest area for the first time in 2017-2018 thanks to being the league’s uniform provider. Of course everyone has opinion, and everyone has social media as well. Today we get a look at some rather interesting responses from the world of social media, from images to comments and much more. Check out the tweets and more below and speak your mind on it after the jump. Stay tuned for much more on this coming very soon!
